Foodie Friday: Classic Strawberry Shortcake

There is nothing that says spring like a strawberry shortcake. I always make shortcake for my family every spring but, this version I dressed up a bit with a strawberry sauce made from strawberry dessert wine. My recipe source was Betty Crocker.com.

Ingredients:

1

quart (4 cups) strawberries, sliced

1/4

cup sugar

2 1/3

cups Original Bisquick® mix

1/2

cup milk

3

tablespoons sugar

3

tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/2

cup whipping cream

1.

Heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, mix strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar; set aside.

I made this sauce with a strawberry dessert wine, any will do. What I did was take a 1/2 cup of wine for every 2 strawberry shortcakes you could double or triple that to make up to six servings. I took my 1/2 cup of wine and simmered it on med-high heat for 15 minutes. I then added 1 TBS of sugar and simmered about 5 minutes more. When it is ready it will look like a pancake syrup. Construct your strawberry shortcake as in the picture above and drizzle the sauce over the shortcake. All the alcohol cooks out but the added flavor to the dish is amazing!!

Oh, this strawberry shortcake look so wonderful! I think I could take a spoonful, right from the computer! Thank You for visiting me for Tea Time Tuesday! You are welcome! I look forward to some of your lovely dishes!

Hi SherryI love Stawberry shortcake. I grow strawberries and my granddaughters pick them once a week for a month. They love them on ice cream and they just eat them off the plants. (with a little wash job) Thanks for stopping by. I would like to be a follower and I'm adding your blog to my favorite listThanksBetty
